Season of mists, indoor shooting and a remaining beginner’s course

[Update 20/09] We have one beginner’s course remaining this year running over 2 consecutive Sundays – Oct 20th and 27th from 13:30 to 16:00.

We provide all the equipment required for the course, which are all outdoors at Wicken Sports Ground. Juniors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the course.

If interested please drop us a line via the Beginners’ Course page.

Indoor season changes a little from previous years – for this year it will be Sunday mornings (10:00 – 12:00) and Monday evenings from 19:00pm – 21:00pm in Akeley Wood Senior School Sports Hall. Additionally there is some outdoor shooting during the winter months on Sunday afternoons and Tuesday evenings, but please discuss with a coach if intending to do this.

Lots to mention – the main outdoor season drew to a close on Tuesday with a gorgeous evening’s shooting amongst the lengthening shadows. We were fortunate to have the Towcester & District Photographic Society on hand to share the late summer light.

From Monday 11th Sept. we’ll be back at our winter quarters of Akeley Wood Senior School between 19:00 and 21:00 on a Monday and Tuesday (some hardy souls may still shoot on a Sunday afternoon at Wicken though).

Lots of dates to note regarding beginner’s courses. Each is of 2 consecutive Sundays 13:30 to 16:30. We have two courses remaining in 2023 with seven (!) coming up in 2024.
